It’s been a minute but dw I bring more rejanis art cause I’m STILL OBSESSED WITH THEM 🤭🤭🤭
I just had this thought earlier today what if even post neck brace removal regina continues being clingy??? Like okay walk with me here, spring fling clingy Regina happened because she was on painkillers and was a bit out of it yes???
WELL IMAGINE she still takes pain killers for her chronic pain, but it’s inconsistent, so no one really clocks it and assumes she’s just gone back to her usual self (albeit maybe a bit nicer) BUT she gets a flare up at school and the painkillers kick in and Janis walks down the hall and IMMEDIATELY she just latches on to her??? And Janis ofc is just baffled and confused because wtf why???
Anakin: *teaches Ahsoka to act on impulse, to be independent to the point of acting without waiting or accepting help from others, and to ignore the council when he thinks it's best, and also models all of those things for her*
Ahsoka during the Wrong Jedi Arc: *digs herself into a deep ass hole and blows up her entire life by acting on impulse, being independent to the point of acting without waiting or accepting help from others, and ignoring the council*
Imagine being 9 years old and asking your dad about the things you're interested in doing when you grow up and he's like "No ❤️! But you can get married, have babies, and then maybe your sons can do those things ☺️🫶 "
i can fully understand the gripes with certain misogynistic tropes/writing issues that are present in the execution of some of cersei’s writing, but i will never understand the “she should have a redemption arc” or “she should be more likeable/less morally dark” perspective. that is not what her character is or has to be to make it great. wanting more female anti-heroes or “redemption arcs” with moral greyness and complexity of the level that asoiaf gives to primarily male characters is entirely understandable, but do some of you people even like cersei as a character, like at its core? like this is not about criticising the execution of certain things when it comes to this character, this is about taking issue with her as a villain fundamentally, which i just do not agree with at all
miguel & gabriels parents only occasionally show up to any Significant Degree together in the main book (and are entirely in flashbacks when they do) but. it feels pertinent 2 mention that it's not Just A Headcanon that miguel is still deeply affected by his upbringing well into his adulthood it is quite literally The Canon Text of SM2099 lol. just because it took until the ANAD run for marvel to say “PTSD” itself in the book it doesn't mean he Never Had It before then yknow
Not sure if you want to hear about this or not so please ignore if so, but apparently Caiti deleted her streams about George and also privated her twitter account.
i actually forgot how massively lesbian coded regina george was in the original and i for one believe that gay people should be allowed to be sexy and evil, so…..good for her
Do you think GRRM may have decided to move Arya's dream about Jon to TWOW or whatever it was supposed to be at the time 😅 It reminded me immediately of Bran and Rickon's dream about Ned in the crypts with Bran recalling it had something to do with Jon which makes me think the dream was removed because it would've worked better with a Jon after death, maybe even with Arya getting a hint to his death in her dreams before learning about it when Jeyne comes to Braavos (or maybe from sailor gossip beforehand, GRRM wants the reader to know Arya's overhearing news about him). It makes me feel like we may even get Arya's version of Bran talking to Jon through Ghost in ACOK with him or Ghost!Jon telling her to come north because winter is coming. Nymeria as well since Mercy makes it clear Bran's watching her.
It definitely makes me feel that GRRM intends to have her to go north and unlikely to take a detour back to the Riverlands. He can use Bran to reach to other characters in order to get them to move north as well.
!!!
Okay so let me be the first to say HOLY FUCK. I didn't think much of the deletion then, but I do now, and I hope you're right. That would be a lot more fitting for Winds than Clash.
god i could gnaw on conchata's Issues forever. when miguel is like mom stop pretending to be terminally ill to get us to visit it really upsets gabriel and me, and conchata - who hates the thought of hurting gabriel and believes miguel is too self centered to care - utterly dodges thinking on the fact she's hurt gabriel, because she doesn't want to believe she's hurt him, and then accuses miguel of not being affected at all. the dysfunction is so fucking tasty.
not even touching the fact miguel genuinely has been ghosting conchata because he sucks at emotional vulnerability yeah, but because he thinks talking to his mother is futile, that he innately hurts her by virtue of being too much like his father.
Lucy obliviously like liking Lockwood moment #I-don't-even-know-at-this-point
There's only two rooms (four beds) at the Old Sun Inn. Cue Lucy calculating possible roommates:
"There was a heavy silence. I scanned the others, taking in Holly's neat traveling bag, doubtless crammed with body lotions and skin cleansers; George's ominously light backpack, which lacked room for any conceivable change of clothes; Kipps's angular and palely ginger frame, the horrors of which were just hinted at beneath his turtleneck; and Lockwood. To share a room with any of them presented problems."
And Lockwood.
...
Lucy. Luce. I can't help but notice that you have no ill thoughts about Lockwood here compared to everyone else (¬‿¬)
I want to make a longer post about this someday but: I think Arya's TWOW arc is going to include her coming to terms with her identity as a Lady. This has been an ongoing conflict with her since her first chapter and I think her flowering in winds is going to mark a turning point. The theory of her having an apprenticeship with the courtesans holds a lot of weight and the idea of Arya going through puberty among a group of unconventional women she's fostered a positive relationship with is just too perfect. It would really have an impact on Arya reconciling her personal idea of what a Lady should be. There's also a lot that she could learn from them in terms of courtesies, communication, appearances, body-language, etc. that would elevate her current skill-set and ways her relationship with them could push the plot.
Not to mention she will undoubtedly reclaim her identity as Arya Stark, and her being a Lady is inseparable from that. Arya Stark is a Lady Stark and being a Lady is a social position, not a measure of how well someone preforms feminine tasks. She shouldn't have to relinquish her position because she doesn't fit patriarchal standards. That's not to say that she's ever going to be the perfect example of a traditional Lady but what I think will happen is that she becomes capable of playing the part. She plays several identities throughout the series but she's always been Arya underneath, so I think it's appropriate that she learns to adopt a "persona" that's part of her. Her remembering Ned putting on his "Lord's face" (+ the various examples of other characters being separate from their ruling persona) makes me think that Arya will be donning her "Lady's face" when she makes a return to Westeros.
